Arrest
after cars
catch
fire on
driveway
• By Susan Sandys
A 30-YEAR-OLD has been
charged with arson after three
cars caught fire in a residential
driveway.
Senior Sergeant Anna Lloyd
said the man turned himself into
the Rolleston police station on
Monday morning after the blaze
on Brookside Rd about 3.10pm on
Sunday.
He was held in custody, pending
his court appearance. Lloyd said
the man was known to the owner
of one of the vehicles and had
already been identified by police
before turning himself in.
“There’s still an element of investigation
that will be occurring,”
Lloyd said.
Rolleston Volunteer Fire Brigade
chief Cam Kenyon said firefighters
were alerted to the incident after a
call-out about smoke in the area.
Firefighters extinguished
the blaze in three cars parked
alongside each other at the
residential address.
“We handed it over to police
because we couldn’t confirm what
started it,” Kenyon said.

Tradition keeps blooming with
Southbridge’s 120th flower show
• By Susan Sandys
ONE OF New Zealand’s oldest
annual flower shows is expected
to attract hundreds of entries as
it returns this week.
The Southbridge Horticultural
Society will hold its 120th flower
show at the Southbridge Hall on
Friday.
Secretary Warren Greenwood
said the show began in the
heyday of such events, soon after
the society was established in
1899.
“The community flower
show is now becoming a rarity.
However, there is still a number
throughout the country, run by
proud committees, determined
not to let the tradition
disappear,” Greenwood said.
The show generally attracted
hundreds of entries, and he
expected this year would be a
“bumper show” as residents
flocked back after a two-year
hiatus. The show could not be
held in 2021 and 2022 due to
Covid, and renovations under
way at the hall.
Anyone is able to enter the
show, and entry is free. Schedules
available at Southbridge and
Leeston premises reveal there are
65 flower classes, including for
carnations, fuchsias, roses, sweet
peas, pot plants and floral art.
There are also classes for
vegetables, fruit, cookery, home
produce, junior arts and crafts,
and photography.
Among those planning to
enter is the society’s immediate
past president Isabel Cooper and
her husband George, a former
treasurer of the society.
The couple, aged 83 and
85 respectively, have been
exhibiting at the show for about
50 years.
Isabel’s favourite classes
are those for flowers, but she
said this summer had been a
particularly challenging one.
“Plants are like us, they wilt in
the hot weather,” Isabel said.
Nevertheless, she was hoping
flowers from the more than 10
rose bushes in her garden would
be looking good come show day,
alongside dahlias and gladioli.
In addition, she would be getting
creative combining various
blooms for the floral art section.
She and George were also
busy in their vegetable patch
and planned to enter classes for
tomatoes, onions and beans.
Isabel said the couple had
enjoyed being involved in the
show and its organisation over
the years. She had been president
for 16 years, while George was
treasurer for 10 years.
“It’s our passion to keep it
going, and not let it disappear, so
many things in country districts
disappear,” she said.
The society also holds an
annual garden competition, for
which a presentation will be
held alongside the flower show
presentation. The main garden
competition prize is the D. H.
Goulden Memorial Trophy,
named in commemoration of
Doug Goulden, who beautified
Southbridge by planting trees
along its streets.
• Southbridge Horticultural
Society Flower Show 2023
is at Southbridge Hall
on Friday. Doors open
2pm, presentation 7pm.
To enter, bring your entry
along Thursday 7-8.30pm
or Friday 8-10.30am.
Admission is $5 adults, free
for children and members.

hope to enter blooms from their many rose bushes at

BIG EFFORT: Alex Grogan and partner Christie Clark on the
podium at the end of the run stage.
• By Darryl Baser
WEST MELTON’S Alex Grogan
has completed the two-day Coast
to Coast wearing a pair of trusty
gumboots and raising more
than $28,000 for charity in the
process.
Grogan aimed to raise $100
for every one of the multisport
event’s 243km, but beat the target
with ease.
“We’ve got $28,090, but the
Givealittle is open until next
Saturday, so I’m hoping
it’ll keep creeping up over the
next few days.”
The 30-year-old contractor
ran the event in gumboots to
raise money for the I Am Hope
mental health charity founded by
entertainer Mike King.
Grogan said he has had his
own issues with mental health
and wanted to take away any fear
people – mainly men – may have
of admitting vulnerability.
“Stigma is a perfect word. I
think over the last four or five
years, I Am Hope and (others)
have been working towards
making it acceptable to say:
‘Hey lads I’m not doing that
great and I am seeing someone
professionally’.
“I’m your typical Kiwi bloke, I
love footy, like having a couple of
beers, but I can say: ‘Yeah I see a
counsellor, but I’m fine and I live
an everyday life’. If that inspires
another person to see a
counsellor, then that’s a win for
me.”
Grogan completed the event
last year in normal running
shoes and was surprised his
time this year of 18 hours and 20
minutes while wearing gumboots
was better than in running
shoes.
FINISH:
Alex
Grogan on
the home
stretch
after more
than
240km
and two
days in
gumboots.
“I was 20 minutes quicker than
I did the year previously not in
gumboots, maybe due to race
experience. I’d done a lot more
cycling ahead of the race this
time around as there is a lot of
cycling in the event. I think it
paid off and I kept up with
the bunches a lot better.”
Despite completing the course
wearing gumboots, he said
his feet weren’t all that sore.
However, he was wearing two
pairs of socks.
“I had standard business socks
on first, then my footy socks over
the top.

“I have blisters on both of
my pinky toes, which look

It was keeping up
with other competitors
which earned him a new
nickname.
“I was pretty close to
changing my name legally
to ‘gumboot boy’ or
‘gumboot
man’. It was a good vibe
among the crowd, people
cheered me on saying: ‘Here
comes gumboot boy’ or
‘there goes gumboot man’.”
The money Grogan
raised is earmarked to help

Kids to benefit from Pork Pie challenge
• By Susan Sandys
SPRINGSTON couple Tracey
Moir and Adrian Rowe hope
their mini will last the length of
New Zealand when they drive it
in the Pork Pie Charity Run 2023
next month.
Moir and Rowe said it will be
a dream come true to do the run
for the first time, as long as their
1982 Leyland, named Browny,
does not let them down.
Moir said Browny starts to
rattle over 80km/h, and has a
maximum speed of 95km/h
“downhill with a tail wind.”
“It’s restored, but not modified
in any way. The brakes are fairly
exciting, the suspension is nonexistent,
the air-conditioning is
pretty much non-existent,” Moir
said.
Yet Browny had coped well
recently on the longest trip it
had ever made to Kaikoura. This
gave the couple confidence the
mini might just cope with the
six-day charity run from Paihia
to Invercargill.
They were at least confident
Browny would arrive safely
at Paihia, where the 2400km
run would start on March 31.
The mini will be transported
to Auckland before they drive
north to the start line.
Moir said she and Rowe had
dreamed of doing the biennial
ON THE ROAD: Black Caps coach Gary Stead donated a signed Black Caps jersey to
Springston couple Tracey Moir and Adrian Rowe as they prepare to head off on the Pork
Pie Charity Run in their mini.
Pork Pie Charity Run ever since
Moir bought Browny as a Christmas
present for Rowe eight years
ago.
But registrations are limited
to 50 and sell out quickly. They
missed out when they tried to
register for the last run in 2021.
“It’s kind of one of those
bucket list things for us. When
you have a mini, it’s something
everyone seems to know about,”
Moir said.
She said the fun event will also
raise money for KidsCan.
Moir and Rowe have already
raised $8160 towards their
$10,000-plus goal by auctioning
and raffling off donated items.
About half of the money came
from their major fundraiser, a
$10 a ticket raffle for a 2.5 per
cent all-expenses-paid share in
a racehorse donated by Leeston
trainer Aaron Swain.
They also have a big auction
opening on Trade Me tomorrow
for a Black Caps jersey signed by
the test team that went to Pakistan.
It was donated by Selwyn
resident and Black Caps coach
Gary Stead and his family.
The couple’s business, Seahorse
Supplements, is covering the entry
fee and costs associated with
doing the run, with every dollar
from the fundraising going to
KidsCan.
The couple’s team name, Team
Seahorse, has been emblazoned
on the side of Browny. They are
also hoping to add the names of
businesses which make a donation.
The Pork Pie Charity Run
was inspired by the 1981 film
Goodbye Pork Pie, in which two
men evade police from one end
of New Zealand to the other in a
stolen mini.

Rolleston prowler
has a predilection
• By Susan Sandys
WITH A swish of his long fluffy
tail, Eric Denis the dark brown
cat disappears out the cat door.
The two-year-old ragdoll mix
is off to prowl his Rolleston
neighbourhood – not for birds or
mice, but for things bright and
shiny, pastel-shaded and soft,
sequined and expensive.
It is a predilection that has
left the neighbourhood children
wondering where their muchloved
toys and clothes have
disappeared to. It has also left
Eric Denis’ owner Janine Shaw
red-faced, with bag-loads of
treasures she has to try and find
rightful owners for.
Shaw said Eric Denis first
started collecting as a kitten
when the subdivision they live
in, Falcons Landing, was developing.
“He mostly brought home
rubbish from building sites. He
specialised in cable ties, polystyrene,
shrink wrap, gloves, work
socks and the odd snack from
someone’s lunchbox,” Shaw said.
“He has now gone upmarket,
showering us with
gifts such as pool
toys, Barbie dolls,
an array of soft toys,
even an expensive
Jellycat bunny,” she
said.
Other toys included
a sequined
mermaid doll, vortex
rugby ball and
super-soaker water
gun.
“He used to
bring things
through the
cat door
until he brought home
the super-soaker water
gun, he couldn’t fit it
through the cat door
because it was too big.
Now he just tends to
drop things outside the
cat door. Some things
he still brings in.”
Recently he
brought a
pair of
Calvin Klein children’s socks
through the cat door. Other
clothing items include a baby
onesie, jandles and a girls’
jacket about twice the size of Eric
Denis.
“I don’t know how he dragged
it all home, but he did.”
Shaw has found owners and
returned many of the stolen
items from recent weeks after
posting a photo on social media.
Earlier she went door-to-door
in the neighbourhood with a
supermarket bag full, managing
to return most things.
Despite his tendency for the
menacing activities of theft and
burglary, undertaken mostly
under the cover of darkness at
night, Eric is a friendly cat. He
loves playing with his sister Bizzy
and neighbouring cats, as well
as receiving pats from human
neighbours.
He is also good at defending
his home against flies, catching
the insects mid-air with his two
front paws.
KLEPTO CAT: Janine Shaw
loves her cat Eric Denis,
but would like to see him
change his thieving ways.
Fortunately most of the
items he stole recently
have been returned to their
owners.

move is part of the legal
process needed.
Once built the college
will be one of the largest
in New Zealand.
The Notice of Requirement
presented to the district
council will allow for a potential
future expansion roll of 2500
students.
It will provide a site for a
second campus for Rolleston
College on the corner of
Springston Rolleston Rd and
Selwyn Rd, 2km from the existing
college campus.
The school worked with the
Ministry of Education to write
an education brief to inform the
design and build of the second
campus.
It plans to share the

building plans with the school
community once they are ready
for consultation.
Said principal Rachel
Skelton: “It will include teaching
spaces, a gym, an auditorium, a
library, an administration area,
a whare and associated outdoor
spaces.”
The new facility is being
designed as a senior
campus due to the site’s
proximity to Lincoln
University as the secondary
school is aiming to
strengthen its
relationship with the
tertiary provider.
“We are also very keen to
be able to offer night classes
and/or adult education at the
new campus to allow our wider
community to also benefit from
the facilities on offer,” Skelton
said.
The school is planned to be
completed late in 2025.
“When complete, our college
will be one of Aotearoa’s largest
schools to accommodate the
population growth in one of the
fastest growing areas in the
country.” The school intends to
provide updates on the second
campus expansion throughout
the year on its website at www.

Carter Group re-zone plan declined
• By Susan Sandys
THE DISTRICT council has
confirmed it is declining Carter
Group’s applications to rezone
two blocks of land on Dunns
Crossing Rd, Rolleston.
At their meeting last week, district
councillors voted to adopt
Commissioner Paul Thomas’s
recommendation that the applications,
named Plan Change 81
and Plan Change 82, be declined.
PC81 is on 28ha west of Dunns
Crossing Rd and north of Selwyn
Rd. It would allow for about 350
homes.
PC82 is on 109ha on Dunns
Crossing Rd, Brookside Rd and
Edwards Rd. It would allow for
about 1320 homes.
It follows the district council
THE PUBLIC will get their say
on whether about 220 homes
and a retirement village on the
western edge of West Melton
should go ahead.
The district council has
decided the planned new
development on a 12.5ha
residential area in the Preston
Downs subdivision will be open
for public consultation.
It is known as Plan Change
77.
last year adopting an earlier
commissioner’s recommendation
to decline the Carter Group
application of Plan Change 73,
which was for about 2100 homes
in two neighbouring blocks on
Dunns Crossing Rd.
Carter Group is fighting
the PC73 decision in the
Environment Court, and has
earlier indicated it will likely do
the same for the PC81 and PC82
decision.
Currently Dunns Crossing
Rd forms the western boundary
of the town, but if all three
plan change decisions were
overturned in the Environment
Court, Carter Group would be
able to establish 3770 sections in
the four blocks which are along
the undeveloped side of the road.
Public to have say on West Melton proposal
The development is being
planned by Hamilton-based
company Marama Te Wai.
West Melton District
Residents Association chair
Tim Schurr is happy the
community will have its say.
“The developers came and
saw us at our November
meeting last year and presented
an overview of their plans for
the site, it was quite a detailed
presentation,” Schurr said.
He says there were about 40 to
50 people at the meeting. There
was quite a mix of positions
expressed.
“Some people who are nearby
the development had some
concerns, but there were some
residents who definitely support
the idea,” he said.
The residents association
plans to discuss the
development at its meeting
today.
Plan Change 77 was formally
received by the district council
in December 2020.
A Request for Further
Information was made by
the district council in April
2021, a partial response
was received on October
2021.
Marama Te Wai was asked
to supply more information,
which was provided in June last
year.

RIDE ON MOWER FIRE
Drummond and Etheridge’s
automatic private fire alarm system
saved its workshop from a bigger
blaze after a ride-on mower caught
fire. The Rolleston Volunteer Fire
Brigade responded to the fire at
1.17am Monday. Chief Cam Kenyon
said the blaze destroyed the mower
and caused smoke damage in the
workshop. “The alarm system did
what it needed to do. Nine times out
of 10 there’s no fire, but this time
there was and the alarm system gave
early warning,” Kenyon said.
FIRE SENSORS FOR
RESERVE
Three fire sensors to detect flames
are being installed at McHughs
Forest Park near Darfield, as the
district council pilots the new
technology for its reserves. The
sensors use a combination of
thermal imaging, 360-degree
cameras, and air quality technology
to monitor environmental
conditions and notify emergency
services if any sign of fire is detected.

Are you looking to build your dream
home in the Selwyn district this year?
If so, the Build7 team would love to hear from you!
This month, we share a beautiful home we have recently completed in
Canterbury for Lauren McDonnell. We hope you enjoy her story below.
Lauren’s New Home
Planning her second build, Lauren McDonnell was delighted to
discover that Build7 was happy to accommodate all her special design
requests.
“I’d built before and it was from an existing plan, which was fine,
but I knew exactly what I wanted in my second house,” she says.
“Someone I knew recommended a bespoke plan put together by a
designer, and suggested Build7.”
From the very first discussion, she says she knew the team
understood her vision and that she was on track to include everything
from her checklist in her new build. At the top of that list were raked or
vaulted ceilings and she wanted a distinct entranceway from her front
door.
She says she was thrilled to move into her new home in January 2023.
“It was unbelievable to finally have everything in my house exactly how
I wanted it,” she says.
“Build7 were also really good after the build was finished. They didn’t
just hand over the keys and leave, they came back to check that all
was well, which I thought was great.”
Build7 South Island co-owner Jamie Cowan congratulates Lauren McDonnell on the completion of her new home.
South Island social media and website pages
It’s now even easier for you to engage with the Build7 team.
We’ve brought all our regional social media and website pages
together under one Build7 South Island banner. Just look for Build7
South Island when searching for our website, and Facebook and
Instagram pages.
If you already follow us, you don’t need to do a thing. When you visit
our pages, you’ll automatically be redirected. See you there!
Virtual Reality
Imagine walking through your new home long before the ground work
has even started. With Build7’s Virtual Reality (VR) service, you can
explore your future home at the concept design stage to make sure it
fits you perfectly. The value of this experience can be up to $10k+ but
we offer it at no cost to you to ensure that we get your build absolutely
right from the beginning. No money exchanges hands until you have
seen the VR footage, made your suggestions, and signed up for the
detailed design drawings to be done.
It’s all part of designing a home that is uniquely yours.

Gin Wigmore: Expect lively mix of
old and new at Selwyn Sounds
• By Darryl Baser
AMERICAN-BASED Kiwi
musician Gin Wigmore is
leaving her husband, fellow
musician Jason Butler, and their
children, Pascal, 6, and Izaiah,
3, back in the US for her New
Zealand tour, which kicks off
with Selwyn Sounds on March 4.
“Unfortunately I am leaving
my babies, husband and dear
doggie at home in LA whilst I
play this next run of shows. I will
miss their cuddles, chats and
love so much,” she said.
“But they know I need to do
this for my soul to live, grow and
be great. So, they get it. Plus, my
kids love getting their dad all to
themselves.”
Speaking from her home in
California, Wigmore said she’s
looking forward to returning to
Canterbury, having last played
here at the Isaac Theatre Royal
in 2019.
She said the crowd at Selwyn
Sounds can expect to hear some
of her famous songs like Oh My
and Black Sheep, along some new
material.
“A lively set, full of old and
new songs. My band is awesome
and such incredible players so
I can assure everyone a whole
lot of fun on hopefully a (very)
sunny summer day.”
Wigmore was in New Zealand
earlier this month and played
at the Opotiki Lantern Festival
before returning to the US to be
with her family.
She has released four albums
since 2009. She has just finished
writing a new record, with the
first single from the forthcoming
album released on Valentine’s
Day.
The song is called Someone’s
Gonna Die Tonight.
“I think that day is kinda
ridiculous, so I thought it would
be funny to release something
a little morbid, sort of the polar
opposite of Valentine’s Day.”
Wigmore is now an American
citizen, and credits living in the
US with helping to lift and
challenge her as a songwriter.
“I think the ingredients I use
for what goes into creating a
song have grown immensely.
“With more life experience
and the ability to work with a
huge amount of highly talented
individuals in all sorts of genres
I was not too familiar with prior,
has allowed me the confidence to
now write in those genres too –
or at least borrow from all styles
to create a new kind of sound for
me.
“I often feel that with more
life experience brings about new
perspectives, a more relaxed
point of view for me in this
case. And I feel this new record
reflects the ‘zoom out’ on what
life looks and feels like for me
now.”
While Wigmore works with
musicians in the US, she is
playing with her Kiwi band on
this tour – Dave Goodison and
Joe Walsh on guitars, Hannah
Elise on bass, Adam Tobeck on
drums, and Matthias Jordan on
keyboards.
At Selwyn Sounds, Wigmore
will share the stage with Blam
Blam Blam, Australian music
legends Hoodoo Gurus, Mi-Sex,
Greg Johnson, Stellar* and New
Zealand music’s elder statesman
Sir Dave Dobbyn.

What a bummer: Fire loses again
Pineglades Naturist Club members were victorious at the annual
club versus Rolleston Volunteer Fire Brigade volleyball match. They
won the trophy for the second year in a row, this time claiming
victory in the first two sets of the best-of-three match at the club’s
Rolleston grounds on Waitangi weekend. The score in the second
set was an impressive 15-1 and 15-10 in the first set. Fire brigade
members kept their clothes on, despite the temperature climbing
over 30 deg C and murmurings a “down-trou” might be required due
to the score. The club and fire brigade members began the annual
volleyball tradition in 1979 after the brigade responded to a scrub fire
at the club’s grounds.

LIVING THE VILLAGE LIFESTYLE
AT ITS FINEST
The Boulevard Lifestyle Village now has 53 villas
completed and all will be occupied by the end of
February and a further three-bedroom villa to be
completed end of March.
They are excited to be commencing the final villa build
stage which will be on the adjoining 5 acres of land.
This land was purchased a year ago, but it has been a
very long process to get to this stage. Civil works will
be starting in two weeks followed by the construction
of the first villas.
Karen has asked that if you had your name on our
waiting list for villas in this stage and have not heard
from her, please do make contact on the number
below. Some names were lost from a new data base
she had done and would hate to think someone had
missed out because of that.
This stage will see 25 new villas built of which 9 will
be three bedroom with a double garage and 16 two
bedroom double garage villas. The existing house will
have extensive work done on it but will be transformed
to become a feature villa giving 26 in total. Six twobedroom
villas will not be commenced until the care
facility has been completed.
All these current build villas are under contract with
only three which are on hold, to be signed.
The Boulevard was thrilled to receive the 2022 Rolleston
Residents Garden Award for a commercial garden.
We have three amazing people who do the work in
the gardens. They were as surprised as I was to hear a
resident had entered us in this competition. I found out
the day the judges arrived. They saw the gardens as
they were with now special preparation. The award is
testament to the work these guys do.
The community lodge, as seen in the advert below will
be the next big venture we will be undertaking along
with the apartments, caresuites and care facility.

THE NEWEST store in the
Smiths City line-up of retail
stores has opened in Hornby.
Located in new shopping
centre, The Railyard, the
2300sq m store is the fourth in
Christchurch, offering the same
extensive range of leading-brand
furniture, home appliances and
consumer electronics customers
have come to expect from the
long-established retailer.
The store had its soft opening
on February 3, with plenty of
foot traffic seen from then into
the following week, general
manager of marketing James
Matthews said.
The official grand opening was
held over the weekend, which
James describes as “a roaring
success” with hundreds of people
attending.
“The store is performing as
one of our top stores in New
Zealand already,” James says.
“Even before we opened,
people were enquiring over the
phone and through social media
about it, and that was really
pleasing for us.”
The store is strategically
located to service the large and
growing area on the south-west
side of Christchurch, James says.
“We are pleased to be able to
make all that we offer at Smiths
City more accessible to people
right across the area.
“And as a 100 per cent Kiwi
owned and operated business,
Smiths City has always been
part of the community and we’re
excited to be supporting locals in
Hornby.”
While Smiths City is the only
business currently operating

SPIDER MITES less than a

variety of plant species where
they pierce leaves and suck sap
from plants.
The two-spotted spider mite
is probably the most known
species, given its broad range
of plant hosts. Whilst looking
on an apple leaf in our garden
recently, I observed a different
looking spider mite. It turned
out to be a Bryobia species, a
native to New Zealand.
There are more than 100

to be the species of Bryobia that

Their eggs are red,
0.15–0.25mm in diameter and
usually found on the underside
of leaves during the summer, but
approaching winter, eggs are laid
on the underside of twigs and
branches. Bryobia species do not
tend to get to pest status in New

enemies, including predatory
mites, control their populations.

Sharing rugby memories with
• By Jaime Cunningham
IMPACT: Demi Sakata on the charge for Japan against
Poverty Bay during the 1968 tour of New Zealand.
YOSHIHIRO ‘DEMI’ Sakata
is a familiar face to many from
his days coaching several Osaka
University sides which played
Ellesmere in the 1990s.
Now 80, Sakata returned to the
district last week were he caught
up with old mates and was presented
with Lincoln Rugby Club
jerseys at a special function.
Sakata is a Japanese rugby
icon, who played for his country
from 1967 to 1973. He toured
New Zealand in 1968, scoring a
four tries in the historic win over
the Junior All Blacks.
He decided to study at Canterbury
University where he made
a huge mark on the local rugby
scene. He made the Canterbury
representative side, scoring 30
tries in 27 appearances.
He also played for the Barbarians
side, captained at the time
by Colin Meads.
“I came to New Zealand in
1968 and scored many tries.
Then I decided, I must come
back,” Sakata said of his 1969
domestic season in Canterbury.
Sakata has been staying with
former Lincoln club president
and life member Bruce Tweedy
during his latest return to New
Zealand.
Tweedy became friends with
Sakata in the mid-1990s, when
HONOUR: Lincoln club president Corran Pywell presents
Sakata with a jersey last week.
one of the first Japanese university
teams came to Selwyn.
“We don’t do it anymore, but
a selected Ellesmere team would
be picked to play [the Japanese],
as they were a very strong team,”
Tweedy said.
During his stay in Lincoln, he
was presented with jerseys from
the club and golden oldies sides.
The late Ray Fowler was
heavily involved in early Osaka
University trips before Tweedy
took over. “We billeted players
through homestays and had a set
programme. We’d take them jetboating
down the [Waimakariri
River] and take them to visit
dairy farms to milk cows,”
Tweedy said.
“I do remember one time
where [the Japanese students]
came out of the clubrooms to
look at the stars, because they
had never seen them before,
living in the city.”

good mates
When Sakata arrived in
Canterbury in the late 60s, he
introduced himself as ‘Deme’,
meaning ‘eyes wide open’ in
Japanese.
But due to his small stature,
his teammates called him ‘Demi’
instead, a nickname that has
stuck.
Sakata said a highlight of
playing rugby in Christchurch
was debuting for Canterbury
against the Country team, when
he scored two tries in the second
half.
“[The Canterbury side] were
such a good team, but I had to go
back to Japan after six months,”
he said.
If Sakata had stayed longer, it
is thought an All Blacks selection
may have come his way.
Over the space of 10 years,
Sakata travelled with seven Japanese
student teams to play in New
Zealand.
“Rugby players wanted to come
to New Zealand, so they could
experience rugby in New Zealand
and the culture,” Sakata said.
“The players went back to Japan
and they would only talk about
New Zealand rugby.”
Sakata is very proud of how Japan
has improved since he played,
saying the sport has “opened
doors everywhere” for players like
himself.
“After Japan beat South Africa

in the 2015 World Cup, there
were more supporters,” he said.
“Before (the 2019 World Cup
in Japan), not many in Japan had
watched the game. Now so many
people watch it.”
Sakata approves of current
Japanese coach Jamie Joseph, saying
“he has a really good team”
ahead of this year’s World Cup in
France.
Sakata has an extensive list of
awards for his contribution to
rugby, which include being inducted
to the International Rugby
Hall of Fame in 2012 and becoming
an honorary member of the
New Zealand Order of Merit in
the 2021 New Year Honours List.
“I didn’t even know about the
hall of fame,” Sakata said.
“An email was sent to me from
the (International Rugby Board)
and I was very surprised. Three
years ago, I got another email sent
to me, about an Order of Merit.
Again, I was surprised,” he said.
Sakata typically comes to New
Zealand every two years, even
though he doesn’t come to coach
teams anymore.
“He loves New Zealand and
says it’s his second home,”
Tweedy said.
When asked why he continues
to come back, Sakata said it’s
because of how rugby-mad the
country is.
“New Zealand [is] so keen on
rugby. They’ll stay home, and talk
about rugby.”
“I just wanted a good relationship
between Japan and New
Zealand,” he said.
This year is Sakata’s first time
in New Zealand during summer.
Although it’s not quite rugby
season, Tweedy says Sakata is
always talking or watching rugby,
whatever time of year.
“We’ve got the Wales and
Ireland game on at the moment,”
Tweedy said.
“It’s all rugby when he’s here.”
OPEN: Lincoln junior teams were the first to play on the
new sports grounds at Kakaha Park.
Sports grounds finally
in use at kakaha park
• By Jaime Cunningham
THE KAKAHA Park sports
grounds in Prebbleton are
finally in use – three months
after the first stage of the park
opened.
Two Lincoln teams in the
Section 2A grade of the Canterbury
Country South Cricket
competition were the first to
use the grounds a fortnight
ago, while a further four teams
played at the park last weekend.
The park on the corner of
Birchs and Leadleys Rds will
be used as a neutral ground for
both the Lincoln and Weedons
cricket clubs throughout the
summer. Andrew Morris, cocoach
of Lincoln’s Paul Renwick
Joinery junior team, said the
two extra grounds in the area is
a “big relief” for those involved
with the sport.
Lincoln has the most
junior teams in its 75-year
history (15) this season, so
Kakaha Park’s facilities will
help cater for Lincoln and
Weedons’ further club growth
in the future.
“While Lincoln is a large
junior club that’s growing,
it pales in comparison to
Weedons, a club that has
teams in both the Eastern and
Western divisions of Country
South cricket. Kakaha Park
will help ease that pressure on
grounds,” Morris said.
The council has stated
Kakaha Park will be used by
both football and rugby in the
winter, with changing rooms
yet to be completed.

Smart fire sensors on the way
for McHughs Forest Park
New sensor technology designed to detect fires in real-time will soon be
available in McHughs Forest Park near Darfield, as the Council begins piloting
the technology on its reserves. The Council and partner Spark New Zealand, with
technology innovator Attentis, will begin installing the sensors this week from
13 February.
A total of three sensors will be installed at the reserve during February and March,
using a combination of thermal imaging, 360° cameras, and air quality technology
to monitor environmental conditions in the forest and notify emergency services
if any sign of fire is detected. The project is a partnership between the Council
and Spark New Zealand. Christchurch City Council has also been trialing the
technology and the data between the two projects will be shared with a view to
assessing further opportunities to use the technology to protect residents in high
risk fire areas.
The sensors are self-powered and use a combination of artificial intelligence
and Internet of Things (IoT) technology—a system of interrelated computers and
machines that can transfer data across a network without needing people-topeople
or people-to-computer interaction.
Mayor Sam Broughton says the sensors will play a key role protecting the reserve,
including its walking and cycling tracks from potential fire.
“We’re really excited about what this technology will mean for McHughs Forest.
Having real-time, 24-hour monitoring in place means we can keep an eye on
conditions and ensure emergency services are alerted straight away if something
catches alight. This is important because of how close the forest is to homes and
local businesses.”
Council Enabling Services Group Manager Kelvin Mason says information from the
sensors will be available to residents.
“The sensors not only provide early fire detection, but also monitor environmental
conditions. Once the sensor poles have been installed, visitors will be able to check
the weather as well as things such as pollen levels at the reserve, live from the
Council website.”
New guide to help explore the best of Selwyn
Selwyn’s official visitor guide is out now.
It is filled with beautiful and interesting places to visit, exciting activities to try and
peaceful places to stay—right here in your own backyard. Plus, the guide is great to
share with your family and friends who are planning to visit.
There is so much to experience in Selwyn. Journey along the Great Alpine Highway
by car or train into the Southern Alps where you will find stunning waterfalls and
kea. The highway also passes six ski fields, where you can enjoy uncrowded skiing
in winter and great trails to explore during the summer months. If you’re feeling
adventurous, take a ride in New Zealand’s only airboat along the Waimakariri River,
or float across the Canterbury Plains in a hot air
balloon. For a weekend away, why not immerse
yourself in a high-country station, relax at a
Canopy Camping experience or unwind in a
country lodge with mountain views.
Selwyn grows some of the highest quality produce
in Canterbury, supplying tasty ingredients and
delicious wine and beer to a wide range of local
cafés and restaurants. If you’re feeling peckish, or
just craving a caffeine hit, take some time out to
sample some of the regions finest fare.
Plan your next adventure and pick up a copy of the
guide from any Selwyn Library and Service Centre

Fire education sessions heating up
this summer
What should I do to protect myself, my family and property from fire? That’s
the question emergency services, Civil Defence and other organisations will
be answering at two free presentations in West Melton and Dunsandel on 25
February and 12 March.
The Fire Risk public education events will have something for all ages, with
fire trucks and police cars on-site for people to sit in, plus practical resources
available to take home. A fun evacuation challenge will be set up, Mr Whippy
will be there and afternoon tea will be provided afterwards. Attendees will be
welcome to talk to the presenters and explore the displays.
The events have been developed to help locals understand what they can do to
prevent fires on their properties, as well as what to do if a fire starts.
Council Community Resilience Coordinator Sue Jenkins says whether you live
on a farm, lifestyle block or in town, there will be something for everyone at the
Fire Risk presentations.
“There are so many simple things you can do to make your home safer, but
sadly many people don’t stop to consider these before it is too late.”
“We want to help people be informed so that we can protect our communities
together. These presentations will be a fantastic opportunity to learn how to
do that.”
Representatives from Fire and Emergency NZ, Civil Defence Emergency
Management, NZ Police, Animal Control services, Orion and FMG will be at the
presentations to share advice and answer questions.
Sue says useful things people will learn include safe landscaping tips, how and
where to store flammable materials, and how to protect pets and stock.
“We’ll also discuss the importance of having at least 4-metres by 4-metres
of clear space for fire trucks to enter your property and turn around. This is
something many people overlook,” she adds.
The presentations will take place at West Melton Community Centre on
Saturday 25 February, from 2–3pm, and Dunsandel Community Centre on
Sunday 12 March from 2–3pm.
For more information, visit selwyn.govt.nz/events.
Businesses asked how they're doing
Selwyn businesses are being invited to share how they are faring and their
outlook for the coming months, in the district’s Business Survey which is now
open until 21 February.
The twice annual survey is designed to help the Council plan activities that
support the business community, and inform advocacy efforts with agencies,
central government and other funders.
The results will be presented by keynote speaker Benje Patterson at the
Selwyn Business Breakfast on 21 March. Benje is an economist working with
Selwyn District Council to support and inform how the Council can plan for the
future and grow the Selwyn economy. A presentation on the upcoming Selwyn
Awards will also be part of the breakfast. Tickets to the breakfast can be
booked online at events.humanitix.com/legs-series-selwyn-business-breakfast
All businesses in Selwyn are encouraged to participate in the survey.

Stable star’s cup win delights Davis
• By Joshua Smith
ROB DAVIS has been involved
in harness racing for many
years, but he is having the time
of his life in the sport at present,
courtesy of his stable star
Buckskin.
The Greendale horseman acquired
the son of American Ideal
off former employer James Geddes
after the latter was culling
his numbers, and he said leasing
the gelding has been one of the
best decisions he has made.
“I worked for James Geddes for
a number of years, initially milking
cows,” Davis said.
“He knew I had been involved
in racing a long time before that
and he asked me one day if I
would go and give him a hand
with the horses . . . which I did
and continued to do so for about
five years.
“After I left doing that, he was
cutting back his numbers and
Buckskin was available for lease
with a right of purchase and we
have had a great ride since.”
Davis took out his license four
years ago to train Buckskin and
in that time he has recorded all
nine of Davis’ wins, highlighted
by Sunday’s victory in the Hororata
Cup (3000m) at Methven.
He was handled perfectly
throughout by driver Sarah
O’Reilly, stalking second favourite
Franco Norton before coming
off his back in the straight and
showed a great turn of foot to
run away to a three-quarter
length victory over Homebush
Lad.
“He is right in the zone at the
moment,” Davis said.
“They ran their last half in 56.4
and that is really good on that
grass track.
“Sarah drove him really well.
He was following that good
horse of McRaes (Franco Norton)
and ran home well.
“He was full of running last
start, he never saw daylight at
all at Rangiora (when third).
We were confident that if he got
a run he would be in the finish
today (Sunday).”
The Country Cups Final is
now firmly in Davis’ sights, with
the all-weather surface his only
concern.
“He is a grass horse, but you
don’t turn down an opportunity
to race in those type of races, so
we will have to go on the grit at
some stage,” he said.
“He has won two on the grit,
so he is not completely hopeless
on the surface.”
Davis’ involvement in the industry
extends to his childhood
and he continues a strong lineage
of participation in the sport by
his family.
“I have been in racing all of my
life,” he said.
“I used to work for Harness
Racing New Zealand many years
ago, I was a handicapper and
then keeper of the stud book.”
He worked there for 13 years.
“I intended taking out my
license after I left but I just never
got around to it until four years

ago,” he said.
“The colours I race in are my
great grandfathers and they were
racing around Canterbury back
in the 1890s.
“My grandfather raced good
horses and my dad was initially
racing secretary and then CEO
of Addington Raceway for a
number of years.
“It’s a pleasure to train a horse
like Buckskin. He is a nice horse
to do anything with. He tries his
heart out every time he goes out
there.”

Epic run for mental health
A YOUNG builder will be
pounding the turf of Hagley
Park for 24 hours next month
in a bid to raise funds for
mental health.
Jackson Lynskey-Reid – Jack
to his family and friends –
says it is something he has
wanted to do for a year or so,
as he believes it’s “a cool thing
to do” to help people.
He chose I am Hope to
fundraise for after hearing
about the mental health
situation in New Zealand
through social media and
radio.
“I think they do an amazing
job. They target mental health,
which is something I have
struggled with in the past,
so I think it’s right to go with
them.”
While Jack hasn’t received
help himself from I Am
Hope, he has through other
pathways and he believes it
is extremely important for
young people
in that situation to receive
help.
“I think a lot of young
people go through mental
health struggles in their teens
or early 20s and don’t speak
up and receive help, which
is why our mental health
struggle is so high in New
Zealand.
“I have friends who work in
and around mental health and
for a young person to actually
receive proper help when they
are feeling down or at a low
point in their life is very
hard.
“That’s why free counselling
sessions are very important
when people are starting to
feel down.”
Jack aims to raise $10,000
with his run. After posting his
intentions on Facebook along
with a Givealittle link, the
amount has already topped
$6000.
“To all those who are
supporting me so far it’s a big
thank you for that,” he said.
“Every cent counts and to
see how much money I Am
Hope has already received is
wicked.”
Jack will also donate $20
himself for every lap he
completes. He says a lot
of people have messaged,
offering to support him by
running a lap with him.
The 24-hour fundraiser
run will start around 6am on
Friday, March 10.
I Am Hope is a youth and
community-focused support
group run by The Key to Life
Charitable Trust, founded by
Mike King in 2010.

hours running laps around Hagley Park to raise
money for mental health charity I Am Hope.

Practices to reduce nitrogen loss
Use wisely . . . Irrigation should be used
when there is a soil moisture deficit and
according to weather forecasting and data
from soil moisture sensors.
Canterbury’s surface water is strongly
connected to groundwater, so what
happens on the land — including applying
irrigation water — affects both water
quality and quantity.
Environment Canterbury is therefore
recommending several cost-effective and
efficient practices farmers can adopt to
reduce nitrogen loss.
Changes in land use in the region have
put pressure on the environment, it
said. Nutrients and contaminants like
nitrogen can take many years to move
into groundwater and this ‘‘lag effect’’
means changes need to be made today for
improvements to be seen in the future.
Building ongood work
Much of the work to improve environmental
outcomes is already under way, and landusers
are being asked to do more to reduce
nitrogen losses to the environment.
Science director Tim Davie said managing
nitrogen loss is a crucial tool to reduce
the impact of our actions on our land and
waterways.
‘‘There is nodoubt farmers need to reduce
their nitrogen losses over time to achieve
the environmental outcomes that our
community wants,’’ Dr Davie said.
‘‘Finding new and innovative ways to
limit or reduce nitrogen loss from farms is
becoming an important focus for Canterbury
farmers, especially in areas like Selwyn
Waihora, which became subject to new
nitrogen loss targets from January 2022.’’
While the new nitrogen loss requirements
came into force last year, they were agreed
as part of Plan Change 1 to the Canterbury
Land and Water Regional Plan, which
became operative in 2016.
‘‘For several years we’ve been working with
the industry on technological innovations
that have the potential to deliver nitrogen
loss reductions on farm, and we’re pleased to
now be able to provide more certainty and
guidance to farmers’’ Dr Davie said.
Working with industry
partners
In 2021, Environment Canterbury
commissioned an evaluation project that
considered 15 potential nitrogen loss
mitigations and identified four as having a
‘‘four star’’ rating based on effectiveness, cost
and practicality:
• practising irrigation scheduling to
maximise rainfall capture
• planting plantain in pasture;
• planting catch crops following winter
grazing on forage crops;
• conducting soil nitrogen testing.
Each of these has been independently
verified by industry leaders and is
recognised by Environment Canterbury
and Farm Environment Plan (FEP) auditors
as having the potential to contribute to
farmers’ overall nitrogen loss programmes.
After the Government’s recent review of
the nitrogen loss modelling tool Overseer,
Environment Canterbury
established an amended
regime for FEP auditing.
Farmers need to provide
robust forms of evidence
to give an FEP auditor
confidence they have met
their objectives for nutrient
management.
Industry support
for mitigation
• Scheduling irrigation
Irrigation New Zealand’s
Stephen McNally said
irrigation in the shoulder
seasons of spring and autumn should only
be taking place when there is a sufficient soil
moisture deficit, and the decision to irrigate
is supported by weather forecasting and data
from soil moisture sensors.
• Planting plantain
Leader of the DairyNZ-led Plantain Potency
and Practice Programme Kate Fransen said
modelling showed a dairy farm with 30% of
an approved plantain cultivar could reduce
nitrogen leaching by 7.5% to 25%.
The programme, co-funded by DairyNZ,
the Ministry for Primary Industries, PGG
Wrightson Seeds and Fonterra, has trials
under way at Massey and Lincoln universities
that are showing even larger reductions are
possible.
Farmers wanting to use plantain as part of
their nutrient management plan will need
to use an approved cultivar according to
PHOTO: ALLIED PRESS FILES
the DairyNZ Plantain Cultivar Evaluation
System, and use the DairyNZ Assessing
Plantain On Farm tool to determine the
proportion of plantain in the diet. See the
DairyNZ website for further details.
• Planting catch crops
Plant and Food researcher Brendon Malcolm
has also found catch crops have significant
potential to reduce nitrogen losses following
winter forage crop grazing, and the sooner
catch crops are established, the greater their
effect and the higher their yield potential.
• Testing soil nitrogen
Dr Mike Beare from Plant and Food
Research said adopting the new guidelines
for soil nitrogen testing could help farmers
better forecast how much nitrogen would
be supplied by the soil and to estimate how
much additional fertiliser might be needed to
meet the requirements of a crop.

business streets ahead
On a Roll Curtains has had a hugely
successful few years in business and has
recently become a Windoware Retail
Partner for Lincoln and Rolleston.
“It’s enormously exciting,” says On a
Roll Curtains owner Dot Maguire. “My
customers will now be able to benefit from
any Windoware promotion, a favourite
being free motorisation of blinds which

past so the sponsorship is very close to my
heart. Also, I will provide free motorisation
for anyone with a disability to help support
independent living. This could be as simple
as voice controlled “blinds up” or on a
remote.”
During the past 12 months Dot has also
recently been working with more local
building companies and has been thrilled
supply window treatments for many
builders’ own homes.
“When you get asked to do builders own
homes, that is a real endorsement of being
a trusted provider in the industry. For
me, it’s about helping unfold what home
owners envision while keeping within
their budget, so every home has bespoke
window treatments to bring their dreams
to life,” says Dot.
With her extensive knowledge of
the industry and current trends, Dot’s
attention to detail and passion makes it

No vehicle charges for
local electrician
Local company Juice Electrical are
experts in all things solar and electric,
including solar panels and the latest in
environmentally friendly vehicles.
Greg and the Juice Electrical team work
closely with Infinite Energy who specialise
in solar energy options.
“We team up with them to install solar.
The latest panels look amazing with black
rims to match the internal panel,” says
Greg.
Installation and set-up is dependent on
the roof type and position so consultation
is a must. Once installed they will save
the home owner money with their energy
costs. They can advise on what size panels
will suit your home and where to place the
inverter and batteries if needed.
On the electric car front, Juice Electrical
can advise regarding the different types
of charges based on how the quickly you
want to charge your car and the capacity.
They install the car chargers – which are
usually provided with the vehicle – and
they don’t always have to be in a garage.
“We can also do outdoor sockets.
Charging time can vary from 22 minutes
to 33 hours depending on the charger,”
says Greg.
Juice Electrical also specialises in air
conditioning systems. Their vans are well
known around Selwyn and one of the
many reasons to choose the company for
your electrical needs is that they don’t
charge vehicle costs for residential clients
in Rolleston.
On top of that you are guaranteed an
awesome service from a team that has
been servicing the area for 17 years!
“We are the experts in fault finding,
repairs and maintenance along with
enhancing outdoor areas with a range of
lighting options,” says Greg.
Integrated LED lighting, in particular,
is becoming very popular outdoors as it
is a lot easier and less expensive to install
as there is no need to dig trenches for
wiring. Options include up-lighting trees
and buildings, deck lighting, doors and
steps and floodlights along with the all
important security lights.
“We also have great value Shelly wifi
controls for turning them on from your
mobile phone or setting a sunrise and
sunset timer.”
Next time you need an electrician
look no further than Juice Electrical.
You’ll see them out and about in their
brightly coloured vans as they work
hard to look after the Selwyn district’s

Create a study space for 2023
The beginning of the new year
and return to school and tertiary
institutions is the perfect time set
up a study space for your children
so they can concentrate on
completing their homework and
assignments in peace and quiet.
By creating an area that is free
from distractions it will be easier
for them to study whether it’s in
a dedicated space, part of your
home office or a corner in their
bedroom. It should be an inviting
area so not be too hot in summer
or too cold in winter.
A study space should have an
appropriate amount of learning
space for students to be able to
accomplish their work. If they use
a laptop and multiple textbooks,
there should be enough room
to use them simultaneously. If
this means that you need a larger
desk, it may be worth investing
in one. Make sure the chair is the
right height for the desk.
Space can be at a premium
in some homes so if you need
to share an office or desk create
a schedule or make necessary
arrangements to ensure everyone
can complete their studies and
work tasks.
Students often work at
different times of the day due
to work schedules and factors
such as when they are the most
productive. For people who want
to study during daytime hours,
choosing a space that has natural
light is essential. Designing a
study space near a window can
help them enjoy the sunlight and
fresh air while working.
For those studying in the
evening and at night time, it’s
important to choose a good
artificial lighting arrangement is
necessary.
Their study space can easily
be personalised and made more
comfortable by adding curtains,
shelves, photographs, a clock,
artwork, plants, and music.
Memo boards, agendas, and
corkboards can also make a space
more personal, while helping you
stay organised.
Add a comfy blanket or bed for
your pet so they can become their
study buddy.
Study spaces can be effective
and inspiring at the same time,
as you make it a comfortable
and personalised environment.
The most important thing to
remember when designing your
child’s study space is making it
somewhere they want to study
and spend time.

The weather is starting to heat up and be quite
dry, so it is important to keep on top of things
such as watering, weeding and mulching.
Having a watering routine helps to keep your
plants happy and reduce the chances of your
veggies bolting to seed. Adding a layer of bark
or mulch will assist in retaining moisture in the
soil, as well as reducing the chance of weeds
coming through. Weeds will compete with your
plants for space, water, and nutrients, so remove
them as soon as you can if they do pop through.

• Remove laterals from tomatoes
• Pull out weeds as they appear
• Harvest produce as it is ready –

• If you have main crop potatoes in,

Mazda CX-5 Activ – point of difference
THERE’S NOTHING more
satisfying than picking up an
evaluation car and immediately
being familiar with the layout and
controls.
That happened recently when
I was scheduled into a Mazda
CX-5 Activ, it has much the
same interior design as the new
Kiddie-family CX-30, along with
the look and feel. Sure there are
a few differences, but the point
I’m making is that Mazda builds
similarity into all of its models, it’s a
simple concept but one that works
well.
However, if you are wanting
a Mazda sport utility vehicle
and want to get away from that
familiarity and are looking at
something just a little bit different
to the mainstream, then the CX-5
Activ is definitely the car to choose.
It has trim details that are quite
bold and aren’t included in the
rest of the range. The evaluation
car was painted an interesting
light brown (zircon sand) that
in some light appeared green,
while the interior has bright green
plastic trim elements around the
air conditioning vents, along with
perforated green seat flecks and
piping, and a subtle green grille
accent.
This may all sound a little brash,
but it isn’t, it works well and it is
only available in the Activ. What’s
more, the Activ is, as its name
suggests, a model that will take
you places off the seal. It has an
additional four-wheel-drive mode
that has power management
protocols that will help enhance
grip on slippery surfaces.
The CX-5 Activ lists at $51,390
and sits mid-way in a six-model
CX-5 line-up, bearing in mind the
series starts at $42,690 for a 2-litre
front-drive only model and ends at
$64,690 for a turbocharged 2.5-litre
Takami.
The Activ also gets the 2.5-litre
engine, but it is sans turbocharger,
the naturally aspirated unit still
pumps out a healthy 140kW
and 252Nm, both realised at
traditional parts of the rev band
4000 and 6000rpm respectively.
While these are healthy outputs,
the performance doesn’t come at
the cost of unnecessary fuel usage,
the engine management structure
keeps the revs down and it will
happily haul in from almost idle
speeds,.
Drive is through a traditional
six-speed automatic gearbox and
it, too, ushers in early, undetectable
shifts that monopolise the engine’s
torquey characteristics. Of course,
if throttle application is heavy the
engine will rev freely, especially
when sport mode is activated, but
CONTRAST: Bright green trim around the heating and air
conditioning vents sets the Activ apart from the rest of the
series.
MAZDA CX-5 ACTIV: Zircon sand exterior colour is a mix between brown and green.
I’m not a big user of that function,
normal mode is always satisfactory
and helps to glean respectable fuel
usage statistics.
According Mazda, the CX-5
models with the naturally aspirated
engine are rated at 7.4-litres per
100km on a combined cycle
average. My testing time yielded
some interesting figures. I was
fortunate to have the evaluation
car for an entire week and during
that time it was used a daily
commute which produced a
9l/100km onboard average. On
the highway that figure dropped to
7.8l/100km with 6l/100km showing
instantaneously at 100km/h
(engine speed 2000rpm).
On the subject of figures,
the CX-5 in this form will also
accelerate to 100m/h in 8sec and
complete a highway overtake in
5.5sec (80-120km/h).
The CX-5 as a series is an SUV
that dispenses the kilometres with
ease. It is quiet and comfortable
and equips itself well when the
tricky nature of our high country
roads are presented. Riding on the
high quality Toyo tyres (225/55
x 19in) there is a lot of rubber on
the surface of the road, and that
promotes substantial feedback at
the steering wheel, corner entry
is precise and body balance very
reassuring.
• Price – Mazda CX-5 Activ,
$51,390
• Dimensions – Length,
4575mm; width, 1845mm;
height, 1680mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
four-wheel-drive,
2488cc, 140kW, 252Nm,
six speed automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 8sec
• Fuel usage – 7.4l/100km
Because drive is channelled to
all four corners, the suspension
is a fully independent system
and it has spring and damper
rates firmed only just slightly
so that body movement can be
contained, along with absorbing
road ripples and ruts well before
they are transmitted inside. The
benefit of the firming is the way
the CX-5 behaves in a corner, it is
accurate and body movement over
the suspension is only minor. The
driver can sense the suspension
doing its job, especially at the rear
where it delivers an informative
feel.
Normally, I wouldn’t tackle
anything off the seal in an
evaluation car unless there was
little choice and for a specific
purpose. However, curiosity got
the better of me in the CX-5 Activ.
There’s an open subdivision near
Darfield that has some undulating
mounds of dirt that was neither
taxing nor dirty. The CX-5 was
immaculate when I picked it up
so I had no intention of getting it
muddy, but I did want to try the
Mi-Drive four-wheel-drive mode,
and on my short excursion in the
loose it could certainly be heard
and felt working as power was
shuffled to each wheel as I eased
gently over the uneven terrain.
I can easily see the CX-5 in this
form appealing those who like
to take to the back roads for the
fishing expedition to the high
country lakes or for towing the
caravan into an isolated camping
ground. For the record, Mazda rate
the CX-5 all-wheel-drive range
with a 1800-2000kg tow figure.
I’ve always rated Mazda product
highly, and now that my wife and
I are fully fledged members of the
Mazda family nothing has changed
that opinion.
The CX-5 is an extension of
what we enjoy in our CX-30,
and I can categorically say that
anyone who purchases a CX-5
Activ will be delighted with the
purchase and experience, and
for that matter any CX-5 model
or anything else from Mazda’s
comprehensive line-up.

Renovate or remove and build
If you are looking for a doer upper opportunity, this could be the one you are looking for! Set on a fantastic 979m2 section,
this 1940s bungalow is looking for someone to roll up their sleeves and bring her into the 21st Centry. Our vendors had
awesome ideas and plans to do this but with a pending move North, this is no longer an option for them. Maybe Reno isn't
your thing but this location is just the ticket! Remove the existing property and look to build yourself something new? There
are some great options here! Call Angela to arrange a private inspection, or see you at one of the upcoming open homes.

Can I trust a seller’s building report?
If you’ve been to an open home recently, or
been browsing the ‘for sale’ adverts, you might
have noticed that some sellers put together
information packs for potential buyers. These
sellers will know that researching a property
takes time and money, and they don’t want this
to be a barrier to a successful sale. They believe
that providing information like a LIM (a Land
Information Memorandum from the local
council) and a building inspection report can help
busy people get an offer on the table. This is great
in theory, but you need to tread carefully all the
same.
If, for example, a real estate agent or seller
gives you a LIM for the property, check carefully
when it was prepared. A LIM is a summary of
all the current property information held by the
different departments at a council at the time. It
contains details of council consents for any work
done, how much the rates are and information
on any geographic hazards that might have an
impact on the property, such as subsidence. Bear
in mind that this information can be reasonably
general – the LIM for most houses in Wellington
will say that they’re located in a high wind area,
for example. If the LIM is dated a couple of weeks
ago, it’s safe to assume it’s reasonably up to date.
If it’s dated a year ago, it’s a good idea to make
further enquiries. Getting a LIM costs money in
most areas (prices vary from council to council).
You can also ask to see the property file held by
the council, which holds other information about
a property, like a site map and original house
plans.
Building reports are a bit trickier. Using a
building report provided by the seller (or the
real estate agent working for them) may seem
like an easy option in the short term. However,
if you buy the property and then find problems
with it that cost a significant amount to fix, you’re
not protected by the building report because the
inspector’s contract is with the seller, not you. The
Real Estate Authority (REA) recommends using
an accredited property inspector who complies
with the New Zealand building inspection
standard 4306:2005. Their written report will
identify any current defects as well as highlight
any urgent and long-term maintenance required.
Look for someone who has a good level of
indemnity insurance, as this will protect you if
you buy the property and then find you need to
fix something that wasn’t in the report. Building
inspections do come at a cost, but we think it’s
worth it to be sure that you’re fully aware of what
you’re signing up for. Depending on the age of the
house you’re looking at don’t necessarily expect
a thin report saying there are no issues. Many
wooden houses in New Zealand are over 50 years
old and there will be things the inspector needs
to point out. Make sure you understand what
normal age-related matters are (that may not be
major issues), compared to significant repairs
needed in the short term to fix a problem. The
report you receive should separate these things
out - if it doesn’t, then ask the inspector about the
difference.
If you end up with a report with a lot of
information about the property it doesn’t mean
you should walk away. Instead, see it as giving
you the opportunity to know what you’re buying.
Doing this before you make an offer means you
are fully aware of what the property may need to
have done to it and your offer figure can reflect
that. However, if you don’t feel comfortable
paying for a building report before you make
an offer, you can make a property inspection a
condition of your offer. Like most things in life,
buying a property will go more smoothly if you
put the work in. If a short cut seems too good to
be true, it usually is.

or a stuffed toy in 1.00pm a children’s – 1.30pm room.
With curtaining, smaller patterns or

even if it is only with neutral cotton
1.00pm – 1.30pm

Marketing your property –
what does it mean?
Marketing a property is more than presentation and advertising.
Conceptually, marketing is identifying
what prospective buyers are looking for
then providing this. For example, larger
homes and sections may appeal more
to families. Young couples starting out,
generally have tight budgets leading
them to smaller properties, while older
people may be looking to downsize.
Brand new has a particular appeal
however there will always be a market for
established homes. Having a picture in
your mind of the type of buyer will help
in determining the features to emphasise.
If repairs and maintenance need to be
carried out before putting the property
on the market, seek the advice of a real
estate agent. They can advise on what
tasks are worth completing and what
might be unnecessary expense.
Installing a new kitchen or changing
the carpet may lift the house but will
the expense be recouped in the sale
price? On the other hand, modernising
an outdated kitchen or bathroom could
make a huge difference to the look of
the place. Avoid going overboard unless
the capital value of properties in the area
justifies this.
Real estate agents are in contact with
prospective buyers so aware of what they
are looking for. Draw on their expertise
and advice to help make the most of the
selling opportunity.
Establishing a relevant and fair price
for a property is important. Most
agents calculate this based on the price
properties in the area have sold for, and
what a particular property has to offer.
A unique or exceptional property may
justify a higher price, though run-down
properties can gain more than they
appear to merit. This might be due to the
area or other factors that suggest a good
investment.
When promoting a property, mix it up
and be creative so your property stands
out from the rest. TradeMe is a must;
checked by most people looking to buy.
Present the features the property offers as
benefits to potential buyers.
Erect a sign outside the property.
People stop and look at photographs and
this might spark sufficient interest for
them to visit an open home. Spending
a fortune on massive advertising
campaigns in every media might seem a
way to attract potential buyers but may
be an unnecessary expense without the
return. A better philosophy could be a
little often. This will depend on the value
of the property, your budget and how
best to reach target buyers.
Buyer perception is also significant.
For example, properties that sit for a
while can become stale. Resting the
property by taking it off the market for
a short time, then relisting perhaps in
spring or when sales in the area appear
to lift a little, can make a difference.
However, if a property does not sell
immediately there is no need for panic or
dropping the price. It may simply be that
the right buyer has not yet come along. If
the mix is right your property will sell.
SELLING YOUR HOME?
Potential buyers are
likely to be living in your
neighbourhood, it’s an
area that they already love
and are actively seeking
to stay in. That’s why it
makes sense to advertise
your property in the
Selwyn Property Guide.
We are the only media
that reaches across the
entire Selwyn District.

Home storage
solutions for
children’s clutter
31
If you’ve ever walked on a Lego
block or a toy dinosaur, you
will understand that finding
the proper storage solution for
your children’s toys, books and
clothing is lifesaving! Numerous
organisational ideas provide
practical storage solutions and
still look attractive. Creativity
and fun are all part of a child’s
development, but there needs
to be a balance between what
will be on display and what will
be put away.
Most importantly, the storage needs to
be functional, effective and safe to use
but be easily accessible and used by your
children. This access means that any
storage should be at a height suitable for
your child to reach.
Utilise functional furniture in multiple
ways, such as under-bed or bench storage.
If drawers are not built in, use bins, boxes
or baskets kept underneath on casters for
a flexible and cost-effective storage quick
fix.
Free up floor space by making use of
walls and doors by installing shelves,
pegboards or over-the-door hangers with
pockets (great for those barbies!). Wall
display areas can be created by using
ropes and clips very simply. To hide away
any clutter, built-in cupboards and closets
can be a bonus, with shelving in high
spaces to hold baskets or boxes. Drawer
inserts can be used in drawers to help
organise, store, and easily locate smaller
items.
Shelving Is a great way to display books
and stuffed toys. However, these items
seem to grow in number miraculously.
Another way to store stuffed toys is an
animal zoo with stretchy cords for easy
access. A set of cubes in a storage unit
can also be affordable and easy to set
up, allowing children to play with one
selection of toys at a time. One tip is to
have clear bins to let you quickly see what
is inside and labelled with pictures, so
children know what contents go back into
it when they are finished.
Store outdoor toys and equipment (balls,
sand buckets and spades, water toys etc.)
in your garage instead of being tucked
away in a closet.
With some planning and making
the most of storage solutions, you can
minimise clutter created by your child’s
toys, clothing and books while ensuring
their room is functional and inviting.

Ryman Resident
OPEN DAYS
FRIDAY 24 & SATURDAY 25 FEBRUARY
FROM 10AM - 2PM
We believe a full life is one that gets richer with age. Discover the
Ryman difference and see why our villages are the measure of
retirement living.
View our show home and learn more about independent
living. Feel free to drop by any time between 10am-2pm.
It's also a great opportunity to view the quality of a Ryman
village, amenities and learn more about the lifestyle we offer.
If you’d like more information, give us a call,
otherwise we look forward to seeing you there.
